More Joy in Heaven is a novel written by Canadian author Morley Callaghan and published in 1937.
The central figure, Kip Caley, was inspired by Norman Ryan (1895-1936), a criminal who had committed a number of robberies in Quebec, Ontario and the United States. The title derives from the biblical quote "I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." Luke 15:7.

Kip Caley-protagonist, Kip was in jail for 10 years for robbing banks all around the six. Kip was let out around Christmas( a time for new beginnings). He tries to have a normal and simple life after he is out but is glamorized by local reporters and journalists.

Other important characters in the book are Julie, Father Butler, Senator Maclean, Kip's mother, Leroy Jenkins, the judge Ford and Fole and Kerrmann.
